Tuberculosis, the world’s deadliest disease, could be America’s next outbreak

E-mail Print PDF

TBEarlier this month, a high school student in Joliet, Ill. tested positive for a highly contagious disease that has claimed more lives than any other throughout human history.

Many mistakenly believe this pathogen was eradicated decades ago. It not only still exists but is thriving, especially in some of the poorest countries around the world. The ability to monitor this disease, save lives and protect the health of Americans grows weaker by the day as the U.S. deprioritizes international funding to combat it.

It’s tuberculosis. Since its diagnosis in 1882, it’s killed more than a billion people — more than malaria, HIV/AIDS, smallpox, influenza, cholera and the plague combined.

Tuberculosis has taken the lives of notable figures such as Eleanor Roosevelt, Andrew Jackson, George Orwell, Frederic Chopin and Charles IX, among others. And it’s still being transmitted in astonishing numbers today.
